| Description of the problem | 2006 highlander hybrid 4wd. Surge when braking and going over bumps. Since 2007, on many repeated occasions, when i go over bumpy roads and braking, i have been experiencing a slight acceleration surge when braking. Every time i bring my highlander into the toyota dealer i ask if they know about the problem, what causes it, and if there is any service information or bulletin on it. Form notes>>i checked service brakes.. This applies to the regular braking system-this term is not clear. As to what mileage--this is a continuing ongoing problem so there is no way to indicate that answer in your boxes. Similarly this has happened at a wide range of speeds, 15-35 mph so your form does not provide a way to indicate that. |
